Intermittent fasting doesn’t involve any of this so you actually have more time.

4. Makes You Drink More Water

Drinking water is essential for life. In order for our cells and organs to function properly, we need water. There are numerous benefits to drinking water such as healthier skin, regulates body temperature, removal of toxins, and joint lubrication to name a few.

If you are in the fasted state and start to feel hungry then that is the time to drink more water. It will help you to feel satiated longer by creating a sense of fullness and it promotes weight loss.

How much water should you drink?

There is no scientific evidence of exactly how much water a person should be drinking but that will vary between each individual’s age and activity level.

5. Powerful Health Benefits Backed By Science

IF has shown to have numerous health benefits and can be an effective tool for weight loss.

Dr. Jason Fung, one of the world’s leading experts on intermittent fasting and low carb, helps people improve their health using this method.

He has written three best-selling books on the benefits and they are well worth the read.

6. It Won’t Burn a Hole In Your Wallet

Because you are not required to buy any special food, shakes, supplements, or even gym memberships, it makes it very affordable.

When you go to the store you purchase the foods that you are already getting, of course making sure that you are buying foods that are whole or minimally processed. Frozen foods are even a good choice because they are not expensive and are great to add to soups or stews.

Overall, intermittent fasting is not going to make you break the piggy bank.

7. Intermittent Fasting Works With Any Diet

Here is the biggest advantage of all.

Fasting can be added to any diet because it is not about something you do but about something you don’t do.

If you are a vegetarian, you can still fast.

Or maybe you have a gluten intolerance, you can still fast. What could be easier than this – really!

8. Helps With Emotional Eating

Emotional eating can really sabotage your weight-loss efforts. How often does it happen when you have a bad day and everything goes wrong?

Your first impulse is to head to the fridge to see what’s in it. Truth is that you are not really hungry physically but you are eating due to your emotions and what is going on at that time.

Intermittent fasting really helps you to be more mindful of your eating and helps you identify real hunger from emotional eating.

You end up making better choices and regain control of your weight.

9. You Can Have Your Cake and Eat It Too

This is one of the nice things about intermittent fasting is that you don’t have to restrict yourself 24/7.

Allow yourself an occasional indulgence and that way you won’t feel deprived and you will keep your sanity.

This way you are less likely to derail yourself and fall into emotional eating.

I do allow myself something small and sweet like an ounce of dark chocolate and it totally satisfies my sweet tooth. It’s really up to you how you want to do it but the important thing is balance and moderation.

10. Vacation Weight Management Tool

When vacation time arrives we look forward to getting some R&R. Along with that often comes the temptation to eat more than we normally do.

You have worked hard to get to this point with your weight loss and you don’t want to sabotage it. So how can you enjoy yourself without feeling guilty?

INTERMITTENT FASTING is the answer. It will help you maintain your weight loss while you are enjoying your vacation.
